Set Your Intention: Creating an Intention Board

Do you live a life of intention and purpose? With focused intention we can create our lives based on our interests, ideals, truth, and, ultimately our purpose for being here.

According to the Merriam - Webster Online Dictionary, Intention is "what one intends to do or bring about." With this in mind, an Intention Board can be the visual beacon necessary to guide us on our quest to live our true life.

Meditate on Your Intention Board:

Process what you have created by thinking about these questions:

• What have I learned about myself while creating this Intention Board?
• Are there any patterns evident? What do these patterns indicate?
• Does anything surprise me regarding what I have included/created?
• What changes do I need to make in my life to be true to my intentions?
• Who are my support people I can share this with?
• What is one step I can take today toward making my intention materialize?

Post Your Board and Make it Happen:

Display your Intention Board in a prominent place. Take time to meditate on your creation. Focused thoughts that you can see every day and that are sent out into the universe with positive, heartfelt energy will bring into your life the blessings you are seeking!

What aspect of your life needs focus? Do you seek a change in career? Do you long for a healthy relationship? Or perhaps you want to put into motion the ability to take that dream trip that you haven't been able to make a reality? What is an intention you have that can be the theme for your Intention Board?
